I took Little Red to the Christian bookstore to get a new journal last week. While I was there, I saw a book that jumped out at me so I had to buy it, even though I already have an incredibly long TBR list as it is. (My list on this post is just the top couple of books on that list.) Plus this book jumped to the top of my TBR list since it has to do with prayer. How do you decide where books land on your TBR list (top, middle, bottom, etc.)? Which books get moved to the top for you to Drop Everything And Read?

Being the main taxi driver for my children often means sitting in the van and waiting for them to finish their activities. This has proven to be some of the best time for me to Drop Everything And Read. In fact, I usually keep a book in the van, just so I will always have something to read if I'm just sitting there waiting. Where do you usually find time to Drop Everything And Read?

It's been a while since I've share what I've been reading. I have been making time to Drop Everything And Read, just not making the time to share. I've missed the sharing because I miss hearing from you all about what you are reading too. 😔

The Things We Wish Were True by Marybeth Mayhew Whalen - Life in small-town America can often seem idyllic on the surface, hiding the secrets of the past and present that tear apart lives. This book did a great job of drawing me in to want to discover the secrets that the characters were hiding. I give this one 4 out of 5 smiles. 😊😊😊😊

The Tumor: A Non-Legal Thriller by John Grisham - I used to devour Grisham's books, but it's been a while since I've read one. I anticipated this one being the same type thriller that I was used to from him but instead was disappointed that it simply was a lot of medical information shoved into a storyline. This one gets 1 smile. 😊

One of my goals for this year is to grow spiritually. I plan to really meditate on and study Scripture.

I was very excited when some friends of mine at the Homeschool Review Crew decided to host a Blogging Through the Alphabet series. This will help me to have a blogging focus at least once a week. My theme is

Each week I'm going to focus on a different Bible verse or passage beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. I'll share why I chose that verse/passage, thoughts on the verse, etc.

I'm joining up at Five Minute Friday over at Heading Home. Each week she shares a prompt, and you write on that prompt for 5 minutes. This week's prompt is "connect."

Here I go:

I posted my One Word for 2017 the other day - Growth. One of my goals is to grow in my spiritual life. I'm starting the year with a focus on my prayer life because I want to connect better with God.

For the past while, I've felt like my prayer life has become stale, rote, mechanical. There's not been much of a connection there between God and me, and that definitely isn't God's fault.

I thought that, after having chosen a word last year, it would be easy for me to come up with a word for this year. I was wrong. I'm pretty sure it was as hard, if not harder, for me to decide on the word that I wanted to make my focus for 2017.
